Question 1 of 5
Research has shown that Asian men tend to have a greater sensitivity than white Europeans to codeine, and they experience significantly weaker effects from the drug. Which of the following types of cultural variations is being demonstrated?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Biological variations. This is because the question specifically mentions differences in sensitivity to codeine between Asian men and white Europeans, which is a biological difference based on genetic factors. Personal space (B), social organization (C), and perception of time (D) are not relevant to the scenario described and do not explain the differences in drug sensitivity between the two groups. The key is to focus on the biological aspect of the response and how it directly relates to the specific scenario provided in the question.
